libc/sys/rdos has DOS format files

Hi,

You can run dos2unix on them.

A general problem with the rdos target in newlib is that it is out-of-date 
and no longer functional in newer releases of rdos.
I was about to update the rdos files half a year ago, but then run into a 
few problems and lack of time. I did get most of the
changes in GCC done and commited.

A problem was with the multitasking interface, which was not well-done in 
newlib for supporting targets with a native thread interface not compatible 
with Posix threads. Has this been modified so it is possible to provide a 
thread-safe library without special names for reentrant functions using 
TLS-support?

Regards,
Leif Ekblad
